The First Tee
of Miami
helping youth through golf!
The First Tee of Miami is an international Youth Golf organization under the leadership and guidance of the Delucca family. It is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization and it is part of the Dade Amateur Golf Association.
In over 50 years, it has transformed itself to be one of the most respected youth golf organizations in South Florida. It serves individuals of all ages, capabilities, and backgrounds.
The First Tee of Miami’s mission is to impact the lives of young people. The idea of “helping youth through golf” is to provide educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values (NINE CORE VALUES) and promote healthy choices (NINE HEALTHY HABITS) through the game of golf.
Nine Core Values
Why is golf different from other sports?
Players learn values like honesty and responsibility by calling penalties on themselves and reporting their own score. By participating in The First Tee, youth are introduced to Nine Core Values which are incorporated throughout the program.
